WOW! I kept salts for about 3 1/2 years until about 4 yrs ago when a 2 week ice storm knocked out our electric and my friends passed away. Your tank sounds very similar to mine. I had a dog faced puffer, a niger trigger, and a snowflake eel in a 90 gallon. Since losing those guys I haven't had...

I would get the water back to acceptable levels immediately! I would do a 50% water change to start with and add a protein skimmer. I couldn't believe the nasty slimy gunk the protein skimmer took out of my water. It's been a while since I kept salts and its hard to tell whats going on with your...

Hi, just found this site today. What a great forum! So nice to read all the posts from the new aquarium keepers and the experts alike. I've kept aquariums for the past 16 years and still thougrally enjoy keeping fish. I've primarily kept cichlids and really can't resist them! My current set up...

Welcome hamburgler. I wish there were more people like you at the pet stores I've visited! Good for you to take the time to be helpful and knowledgable about what your selling! The time you've taken to research and learn about fish will be a real help to all aquarium keepers both new and old...

Welcome and WOW!!! Talk about taking the hobbie to the extreme. I've got to see some pictures of these tanks and fish! I'm just 2 years your junior and have only worked my way up to a 90 gallon! I'm hoping to step up to a 180 gal. or a 220 gal. for my cichlids. Please.......Post some...

Welcome Flipbro13. Yeah fish keeping is awesome! I'm sure you will enjoy it for many years to come. I've been keeping fish for about 16 years now and I still get a lot of enjoyment out of it. Three pieces of advice: 1) Keep your fish happy and healthy with frequent water changes. 2) When you...

Tank sounds really cool. I would suggest adding the mollies first. I've used them in the past to help cycle my tank. They are very hardy! And I would also add the angels last. They are usually not very aggressive but they are a cichlid no less. I've kept a 90 gallon for several years and love...

Good luck and welcome! Tank looks like a success to me. Be careful with keeping fish........It's quite addicting! I've been at it for several years and can't seem to stop. I think your 55 gallon will be quite beautiful with a thriving community of fancy guppies! Eventually the addition of some...

Hi MSU and welcome. I'm a new member also. I have a growing zoo as well! My 15 yr. old has wanted a turtle forever but I' a little afraid he wouldn't be tended to well enough! He has a adult bearded dragon and we also keep a 90 gallon freshwater tank and have 3 pugs and a cat. I love my fish...

Hi and welcome Palisaide! I also am a new member to this site. Your tank set up looks A-1! I especially love the large amount of live rock. Your salts will love that. I've had a 90 gallon set up for several years. I kept salts for about 4 years until a 2 week ice storm claimed my 3 friends. I...

Hi, just found this site today. Seems very nice and informative. :D Although I've kept cichlids for many years I'm sure there are many of you here who could help me out! I currently have a 90 gallon set up with 7 angels (1st time having angels) 6 green severums (had a pair of gold ones for 3+...
